I kind of wish I'd gone to see BBM instead of Pride & Prejudice tonight...I love me some Heath!

Part of it is certainly my fault -- my unwillingness to have normal college student social tendencies.

So it's not worth seeing if you just think Heath is gorgeous? I'll spend my $10 on Brokeback again.

meh.

I'm finally seeing BBM New Year's Day...very excited.

The material Heath was given in Casanova can not be compared to the material he worked with in BBM, therefore his performance was WAY better in BBM.

I got a flu shot, so hopefully it's not that. Likely enough that I could be doing this to myself again -- every time I think things might finally be on the mend, something else happens that makes me want to crawl into a hole. The majority of my family is still not speaking to one another. And on a shallow note, I've been walking around with a hood on my head all day.

But, Em, you DO have plans, remember! BWW party! I guess you can't exactly tell her that, though.

Maybe you should start a Broadway Lover's Club! That's normal college social tendencies, right? You and Fantab could be officers!

Casanova looks like an...interesting movie. I wouldn't mind seeing it when it comes out on dvd.

Casanova does have a pretty complicated plot, and it's strongest element is the comedy. The romantic side doesn't work quite as well. I think it's worth seeing if you're fairly alert and in the mood for some laughs.

No, I can't, Elphie. The times when I wish I could are more and more frequent, though.

Maybe if I need my fill of Mr. Ledger I'll just watch A Knight's Tale again. It never gets old!

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 12:53am

Broadway Lover's Club? That sounds good. Em?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 12:55am

I'm game.

[Atrias]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 12:55am

Mmmm, A Knight's Tale. I love that movie to death.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 12:55am

Maybe you should tell her...somehow. Tell her really quickly, then run away and hide so she can't find you. I mean, your parents have got to know sometime, don't they? There's bound to be a time when you won't be able to explain something away. They'd probably rather hear it from you than discover it some other way. It's not like you're doing anything wrong; you are being safe while learning and having fun! And, you *are* an adult, even if your parents sometimes seem to forget that.

I should be heading to bed. Good night, everyone! And feel better!

I think my mother would truly appreciate me actually participating in some club at school. It took me a really long time to get involved in high school due to other commitments, and when I finally did get involved, I had a blast. Now, she's always bugging me and reminding me of how long it took me in high school and that I should just jump in at college. But I'm not much of a jumper.

[Alix7272]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 12:58am

oh no! Feel better everyone and goodnight elphie!

I love A Knight's Tale.

During the whole college search thing, I got so excited when colleges had a Broadway club. Actually, the only one that did was Ithaca. It was a BC/EFA club, which I thought was awesome. Do it!

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:00am

You've sparked my interest! Any more info on how a BC/EFA club would work exactly?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:03am

Mine would, too, Fantabulous. She always asks if I do anything but write for the paper.

Elphie, sometimes I think about just sitting her down and telling her, because I want her to know about all of the amazing people who are so close to my heart because of this. Sometimes I have the delusional thought that MAYBE she'd be okay with it, but... I know she wouldn't be. I want to at least tell her that I post actively, so I don't have to hide it all the time, but one would lead to the other.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:05am

I lurked here off and on since Part 1. I was too intimidated to jump into the fire until recently.

Emcee, if you're feeling particularly confrontational, you could always point out to your mom that you *could* have plans for New Years, but she is preventing you from doing it. Of course, I may be projecting a bit because of my own mom issues, but you can always think it instead. And be as depressing and boring as possible on New Years Eve to make a point.

Alix, you changed your avatar! I like it!

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:09am

Em, you said you want your mom to know you post actively. How much does she think you post?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:11am

Well, what do you think she'd have the biggest problem with? That you actively post and 'waste time,' or that you meet people from the internet?
I mean, I know this is way oversimplifying, but you don't live at home, and she really can't dictate your life anymore. the point of college is to 'spread your wings' (ugh, cliche) and become your own person. I know you don't want a huge mess or to make things worse, but it really seems to be making you miserable now. Maybe if you start the Broadway club, you could somehow work it in that way?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:14am

She saw me surfing the website once a few days before I joined, and was like "you don't do this, do you?" She's seen me surfing it other times, but I make sure not to be logged in when she sees. I frantically close windows and things when my parents can see my computer screen. My mom doesn't know I've ever posted on a message board.

I think she's have a problem with the fact that I've posted and let it go so far as it has -- because even though I'm safe, when I was meeting people and giving out my phone number to them and things, I didn't *know* it was safe. So at the time, I was doing something I shouldn't have done.

I tell my mom what she needs to know. If I'm going somewhere with a BWW person and "friend from school" doesn't cut it, I make up some story about how I know said person. Eventually the plan is going to come crashing down, no doubt.

I just wish I could tell them, because it's so huge to me.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:17am

It's a tough situation, I'll give you that. But, I'm sure it will work out someday, somehow. *hug*

Okay, now I REALLY am going to sleep!

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:17am

That's such a stinky situation. Does your mom think you guys have a good relationship? It's just such a shame that you're experiencing all of these things that are so huge and important to you and you can't share them with her.

[Chloe]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:21am

So I gather she thinks of internet message boards as either silly or unsafe, and meeting people you've met online as very dangerous, which it can be of course.

[Alix7272]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:23am

I'll see if I can find the site of the club at Ithaca again...

Thanks skittles. It's the first time I've changed it in over a year - since I've joined. Actually, I think it was Rod very briefly at one point. I figured the time has come to start supporting I Love You Because.

em, my parents are the same way. They've seen me on this site and I think they've inferred that I post but don't know that I've met anyone, which is getting a little tricky. Actually, since you're the first person I met, I told them I met you "by chance" while I was at Barnard and then others are friends of yours. I try to be vague about it. I feel really bad, but I know that they'd be angry and think that it's unsafe no matter what I tell them because "you never know."

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 1:24am

Yeah, she thinks the entire thing is unsafe.

My mom and I have an okay relationship. When it's good, it's great, but when it's bad, it's extremely painful. But yes, I wish that I could tell her about something that's such a huge part of my life and experiences that have directly shaped who I've become without having to worry about her being mad about it.
